I was so happy to see that Taste is still alive and doing well in South Haven. It’s been 11 years since I visited this town and this restaurant. Of course I had to dine here again since I had a great experience last time, and it did not disappoint. Austin was our server and took great care of us. …

Food was delish and presentation was wonderful. I had the beef sandwich and it was so good with the Parmesan crust. My kiddos Mac and cheese was so good!! My husband got two of the small plates as his meal - shrimp and fried artichokes. Make sure to get a reservation! We will be posting a full review on @midwestpassport …

The small plates to share were delicious. We tried the fillet bites. The Korean barbecue is really good. The Phoenix sushi was really good. The martinis were good too. I recommend the paper plane.

The most delicious seafood I’ve ever had!! There’s also a beautiful view of the riverfront/marina directly across the street if you sit outside. Perfect for a hot summer day if you’re looking for an outdoor restaurant. Would come here again 1000%!!

In South Haven for the day and wanted to try a small lunch, Taste was a perfect choice because they offer small plates. The tomato soup and Barata were perfect. We also tried the potato pancakes, they were warm and delicious. We ate outside on a nice sunny day in the shade. Good, quick and efficient service. We enjoyed our …

Taste is a must-visit restaurant in South Haven, Michigan. Known for its small eats, martinis and more - there’s something for everyone. I loved the crispy artichokes + sweet & spicy shrimp. Awesome kids’ meal options like burgers and Mac n cheese. Great vibes here and fantastic service. Right downtown and close to the South Pier and harbor!

Great atmosphere, great service and great food! Make a reservation because South Haven is small, and this is a popular place that books up fast. I was there in the off season, and still needed a reservation. Now, once you get in there, it’s on! This is a small plates style restaurant. There were two of us dining, and we …
